The multi-wavelength microAeth® MA series instruments continuously collect aerosol particles on a filter and measure optical absorption at 5 wavelengths spanning UV-IR at a data rate of up to 1 hz. The multi-wavelength measurement provides information on the composition of light-absorbing carbonaceous particles and helps distinguish between the different optical signatures of various combustion sources, such as diesel, biomass and tobacco. The instruments support the DualSpot ® charge compensation method which corrects for the optical charge effect and provides additional information on the optical properties of the aerosol.
This item is only the filter tape cartridge consumable, custom designed for use in microAeth® MA200.
Filter tape cartridges have PTFE filter material to collect a 3mm sample and each cartridge contains 17 sampling locations.
